The little girl is 10 now and still loves to go camping, still scared of the dark and when going outside to look at the stars has a hard grip on my hand and a flashlight in the other hand. Thanks for the comment. Papaw

I have been a member of this forum while deciding on a 5er, which we ended up purchasing a Carri-Lite. I still like some of the features of the Heartland and have to read the problems of owners of carriage that I worry about. the main reason I chose carriage was the track record, which Heartland...

Dittos on the thanks for a great job you guys have done. Since I am still holding out on which of the two to buy, it is probably easier for me to compare the two on one forum until purchasing. Having said that, once I have bought one I probably would find the seperate forums more appropriate...

Noticed somthing in the pictures-- Ok guys, whats the deal-- you are showing two mugs with people wearing the new caps that we are taking a poll on to see if there is enough interest to justify having caps made:o Are they already available? Just kidding, but if they are available how do we...

Hauling and Plum-PEX water lines Merlin, What do you pull these units with? Do the manufactures have any way to protect the front of the new unit in transit? I read on some of the other forums some complaints of rock chips etc. on new units. Jim and Jeff, Thanks for the explaining the...

Hi Tom, No, I don't currently own a Heartland and I guess the post must have been misleading. What I was wondering was how many Heartlands have actually been sold and on the road and if we would be able to tell which number the unit was off the line by the serial or unit number. After some...

It seems the forum has slowed down a tad and it occured to me that I really don't remember anyone telling of their first hand experiences with their Heartlands. I am wondering how many of the 40 or so members of the Heartland forum have bought and actually have in their possesion a Heartland RV...

Tom, Thanks, that explains why none of the ones I looked at had them.

Diagrams Jeff, Are these diagrams furnished in the owners manual that you recieve upon purchase or are they only available on special request? This is a major weakness in the RV field -- no wiring or plumbing diagrams or repair access points in the owners manual. This would be another big...

Poll Jeff, The forum is great and I have the feeling you might be expecting more posts and activity. I have wondered the same thing, but this is a very new and very little known entry in most areas of the US. I just attended the Ft. Worth show and they were not represented and they probably...

When we looked at the Heartlands this week, the salesman casually mentioned that the Big horn was nearly $20,000 less than the Landmarks. I'm sure he was talking MSRP but that still seems a lot more difference than I saw in what you get between the two models. The best I remember, the only...

This past summer we took the eight year old grand-daughter to a remote 50 acre cow pasture for a weekend of dry-camping. Having heard Coyotes or wolves in the night on a previous trip, I took a varment call to possibly call them up for a closer look and get some extra night entertainment. I...

Saw the Heartlands yesterday at ExploreUSA in Denton, Texas. Nice group of guys and I like the low pressure - at home fealing they give you. These are very impressive and offer many of the features I had in my Monaco motor coach - plus some. I read in their brochure there is a recessed toilet...

Thanks Jeff------thats the one.

GPS configuration I don't know if it permissible to put a link to another forum here or not but TexatDurango had an interesting thread on this in the RV.NET. Well, I can't get the link to work, but anyone that is more computer savy than I could probably post the link. Otherwise you can...
